The Atlanta Falcons went through another whirlwind season, as starting quarterback Kirk Cousins didn't even make it to the end of the year and the team fell just one game short of snapping the NFC's longest active playoff drought in Raheem Morris' first season. There are plenty of positives to look at, however. Michael Penix Jr. is showing signs he could be a franchise quarterback, and the Falcons have two of the best young skill position players in the NFC in running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London. The defense needs a few more big playmakers. This 3-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft should be exactly what Morris and the Falcons need. They can build one of the best young defenses in the NFC, which should help Penix and the offense vault to the top of the NFC South as they try to end Tampa Bay's reign of terror.
